Chapter 745: New Year 7
The Aegon calendar is two hundred and ninety-nine years, and the new calendar is seven years.
Time flies, like a white horse passing by. Four years of time have passed in the blink of an eye. King's Landing, a great city that has stood on this land for nearly three centuries, is still prosperous, even more lively than four years ago, and also Many more changes.
A brig warship with a three-headed fire dragon flag and a golden sea monster flag of the Greyjoy family pushed aside the sea, slowly approaching the Blackwater Bay port.
Because of the repeated rise of the political and economic status of King's Landing, the power center of the empire was established here, with a high degree of centralization, and the development of King's Landing has also been on the fast train, making great progress.
Therefore, the problem of insufficient operating capacity of Heishuiwan Port, the largest port in Junlin City, has also been exposed. In recent years, it has undergone several large-scale expansions and eventually grew into the most important trading and trading platform on the entire Westeros continent. There is not even one of the military ports.
The port of Heishuiwan is prosperous and prosperous. There are many ships going to and from the port, under the flags of all kinds from all over the world, long queues began to line up very far away, waiting to be inspected and checked for entry.
On the surface of the Blackwater Bay, there are also ships of the Capital Defense Team patrolling, maintaining the order of ships entering the port.
This also caused the once rampant smuggling and crime gangs in King's Landing City to disappear, until eventually most of them disappeared, and the rest were just some idle or desperate little thieves.
Because it is said that the chief of customs of the empire was a very powerful person, he was once a smuggler, so he was very familiar with the loopholes and smugglers' routines in Junlin City, and he acted quickly and ruthlessly, which became a nightmare for all smugglers.
The customs chief even suffered revenge from this group of evil forces and almost lost his life, but it was precisely this behavior that made the empire's top leaders angry and caused the **** conflict that followed.
The Imperial Front Council issued a death order to the commander-in-chief of the capital garrison. One day two years ago, it launched a thunderous sweeping operation. Like the sparrows that year, it wiped out all the major evil forces in King's Landing in one breath, and the people clapped their hands. Applause, since then, the security of King's Landing has directly risen to a level.
...
"Once, I thought we were destined to die in a foreign country."
"I didn't expect that we would really have one day to return home."
On the brig with the flag of the Empire and the Greyjoy family flag, two men stood side by side.
They stood on the bow and foot of the wooden barrels, looking at the prosperous metropolis under the afternoon sun in the distance, and the imperial palace towering high on the Aegon Hill.
Because this is where they are going next, in the throne room to meet the imperial emperor.
The two people at the bow of the boat glanced at each other, and they could see the tension and excitement in their eyes, because this was the most important and bright moment in their lives.
"Jun’s Landing, here we come..."
Then one of the men with blond hair and a scar on his cheek took a deep breath.
And beside him stood a companion with dark hair and a dark blindfold, who looked like a pirate.
"what?"
"I remember being far away from King's Landing, I could smell that disgusting smell."
The blond-haired man with a scar on his cheek took a deep breath and asked with some doubts.
"Jack, have you been to King's Landing before?"
On the other side, the companion who was blind with one eye and a blindfold heard what he was saying, turned his head and asked.
"Well, I followed my father when I was young."
"Come here to do business."
谷 The blond man called Jack by his companion did not hide it, nodded and said.
"very nice."
"I have never been to King's Landing."
And the companion who wears the blindfold and looks a bit fierce shook his head, his voice a little envious.
He is an illegitimate child of the Iron Islands, and his illegitimate child has a low social status, no matter where he is.
Although he has a father who is a nobleman, this father has, just like none. He has lived an orphan-like life with his mother since he was a child. Until his mother died of illness, he was completely alone.
And his father also finally did a good thing that can be called a father, that is, before the Iron Islands fell, he gave him a boat and let his own son escape by himself.
The two people on the ship talking to each other are one of the many pirates who were attacked by the Imperial fleet in the port of Nass many years ago.
The naval battle was extremely tragic, it was a one-sided slaughter. However, most of the pirates were buried in the sea or escaped to the island to be infected with butterfly fever, but some of them were captured alive and became prisoners.
The one-eyed ‘one-eyed’ Romi Parker and Jack, who were one of the squad captains of the Brotherhood of Bones, were among them, but they looked very bachelor in the face of the fleet of the Empire, so they bowed their knees and surrendered without any resistance.
And their special identities come from Westeros. In addition, "One-eyed" Romi Parker is an illegitimate son of the Iron Islands.
Therefore, the two men knelt down on one knee and swear allegiance. They successfully won the trust of Asha Greyjoy, washed away their pirate status, and became a member of the Imperial fleet.
And the two brothers also played a vital role in the subsequent battles between the imperial fleet and the pirates of the Snake Lizard Islands~www.NovelMTL.com~ and now the'one-eyed' Romi Parker also has'blonde hair'. 'The two Jacks were sent by Asha Greyjoy to King's Landing to meet with His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire.
They carry the special mission given to them by Asha, and more importantly, they personally escorted something more mysterious.
Therefore, he was able to fulfill his dream of the year and return to his hometown.
And this dusty ship, with scars all over its body, it seems that the brig warship that has gone through many hardships quickly attracted the attention of the patrolling capital garrison.
And this brig is also flying the Empire flag and the Greyjoy family golden sea monster flag.
Therefore, the news was soon reported by the patrol soldiers through the captain, the port master of the Blackwater Bay port, and finally to the ‘onion knight’ Davos Seaworth, the chief of the Imperial Customs.
"what?"
And the Onion Knight frowned slightly when he heard the news.
Because in accordance with the management regulations of King's Landing Port, warships flying imperial and noble flags can directly enter the port via a special channel without queuing.
All merchant ships need to make room for the Imperial warships.
This port management regulation has been implemented for several years, and it is impossible for ships to come and go without knowing this.
Therefore, Davos instinctively felt that there was something wrong with it, and then stood up and said.
"Take me to see."
